random engine question...

[envthis15]

does anyone know or think it would be possible to drop the japanese skyline engine into the 2004 touring z? would the trans hold up or need replaced as well? clutch changed or no? would the skyline engine even fix into the engine bed?

you should be more specific when you say skyline engine, there are numerous skyline engines and models over numerous years.

to say the least numerous variations have been put into the Z from what I know

yeah the newest skyline I believe uses the same vq35 as the z, and the older rb series has been done just not much benefit the the great deal of expence, look around there si a guy doing an rb swap into a z33 right now, it's a very rough junkyard 350z taht came with no motor so he's starting from zero, actually less than zero once you see the pic's
